Hello everyone just giving a little update. All prep work was done last week and thanks for your support. 2 teeth were moved as advised by orthodontist. This was done in the hospital and totally painless and professional, the worst bit was no tea for 24hours.Then Wednesday i went in for the peg fitting as advised this would be hugely beneficial to my recovery if needed as nutrition is so important. It all went very smoothly and was painless again and they were all so nice and reassuring, stayed overnight to be monitored lots going in the ward so not much sleep. In the morning saw the doctor and the nutritionists we had some more checks and I was shown how the peg worked then I was discharged. 6days passed now the soreness has nearly gone all managed by paracetamol .My first treatment was yesterday 16th Feb Chemotherapy followed by Radiotherapy. I went in feeling very positive and my only thing I could compare it to was a long haul aeroplane flight. Tea soup snack sandwiches yogurts sleep music book reading toilet trips and of course the treatment. The staff were all fabulous. I'm on my way .
